From internationally bestselling author LJ Ross comes a tense, atmospheric thriller that explores how far we'll go to understand—and survive—the darkness around us.
In the remote hills of western Ireland, fear spreads as the locals struggle to make sense of a killer who is seemingly one of their own...
Dr. Alexander Gregory, a psychologist recovering from the collapse of a high-profile criminal profiling unit, wants nothing more than a quiet life to finally sit and think things through. But his rare ability to understand the minds of violent offenders makes him hard to ignore—especially when a small town is shaken by a brutal murder. Reluctantly pulled into the case, Gregory finds himself confronting not only a cunning predator, but the darker corners of his own mind.
